The Colder Heir

Ines Duarte was hired to catalog a century of Vayne family papers. She wasn't hired to fall in love with the heir — but there she was, engaged to Bennett Vayne, planning a life that fit between the box numbers. Then, in her own stacks, she heard him on the phone with the family solicitor, agreeing that the engagement was 'a sentimental placeholder' and a merger marriage was the sensible route. She didn't burn a single document. She filed a perfect record, left a duplicate with the historical society, and moved three hundred miles away. Bennett can't buy her back. The only apology she'd accept is the truth, in the public record, with his name on it. An overheard betrayal grovel romance about an heir who has to give away everything to be worth keeping.
